Rockers Steven Tyler and Lenny Kravitz treated attendees at an art bash in Miami, Florida to an impromptu performance of Aerosmith classic Walk This Way on Thursday night (05Dec13). Guests at the Wall venue included fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger and Paris and Nicky Hilton.

We need to cool it with the Kardashian-bashing, you guys.
Lately, it’s gotten so bad that even their most ardent detractors could feel a little sympathy for the reality family America loves to hate. First, the tabloids relentlessly hounded on Kim’s pregnancy weight gain. (As Jezebel reported, Star snarked that she’d gained “an insane amount of weight” that had turned her “shapely derriere” into “a sagging, dimply blob.”) Now, a leaked mock-up for an Indian Ford ad shows a cartoon drawing of the three Kardashian sisters bound and gagged (but still showing off their voluptuous cleavage) in the back of the Ford Figo, with Paris Hilton winking from the front seat. The tagline reads, “Leave Your Worries Behind.”

A Kardashian lawyer told E! News that the women are “exploring all their legal options” after seeing the ad, which was never released but made the Internet rounds nonetheless after appearing on a website roundup of creative advertising. "The 'leave your worries behind' Ford ads are disgusting, vile, and offensive to all women," the family lawyer told E!. "It is unacceptable that Ford would align itself with an ad agency that would so carelessly release these ads." Ford and the ad agency, JWT India, both apologized for the ads and their release.
But the broader issue here is the unchecked vitriol directed toward Khloe, Kourtney, and Kim. Yes, they are reality stars who are famous for “nothing,” or, as many say, for “being famous.” Yes, they are wealthy. But they’re still human — and nobody deserves this kind of treatment.

For those of you who have been dying to see Steven Tyler in the buff, we're sorry to tell you it's not going to happen. Although we're actually more sorry that you want that visual.
Because of his new home on the island of Maui, the Aerosmith singer has been pushing Hawaii for a privacy law that would prohibit photographers (or overzealous fans) from getting up close and personal with their cameras. As a result the tropical state has just approved legislation — aptly titled The Steven Tyler Act—that would make it illegal for a person who "intends to capture, in a manner that is offensive to a reasonable person, through any means a visual image, sound recording, or other physical impression of another person while that person is engaging in a personal or familial activity with a reasonable expectation of privacy."

When you go to the multiplex this weekend, you may want to pay with cash. Keep your personal info stowed away — there is an Identity Thief about.
Typically, identity theft is not what we would call great comedic fodder. Anyone who has been the victim of this invasive crime knows how detrimental it can be. While it is uncertain whether the actors in Seth Gordon’s film have ever experienced this grave misfortune, if you have ever had your identity stolen, you may take solace in the fact that plenty of celebrities can commiserate.
Will Smith
In 2009, Smith was irate to find that several false accounts had been opened in his name. A forty-five-year-old con artist used the name William C. Smith, full name of the rapper-turned-actor, to charge more than $33,000 in fraudulent debt. The craziest part of this particularly story is that when this thief was arrested for stealing Big Will’s identity, he was on parole for committing the same crime against former Atlanta Hawks basketball player Steve Smith. There’s no need to argue, the parole board just don’t understand.

Steven Spielberg
Spielberg is world-renowned as a legendary dream weaver, but in the mid-1990’s, he experienced a rather nightmarish invasion of his privacy. An inmate of a Tennessee prison used nothing but a telephone and some devious wit to obtain all of Spielberg’s personal information. While he didn’t steal anything from the filmmaker, he did use the info to keep eerie tabs on everything Spielberg bought on his American Express card. Jackson would later supply this information to the head of a Hollywood studio, hoping to secure a movie deal. And you thought the pale, dying E.T. was unsettling.
Tiger Woods
Pro golfer Woods found out the hard way that perhaps the security measures surrounding his personal information were frighteningly subpar. Career criminal Anthony Lemar Taylor got a hold of Woods’ info and used it to illicitly purchase more than $50,000 in goods and services. Not only that, but Taylor somehow obtained a fake drivers license, social security card, and even a military identification card, all in Woods’ name. He may have looked nothing like Tiger, and actually got his middle name wrong on the falsified documents, but Taylor amassed an entire storage unit full of ill-gotten merchandise.
NEXT: A talk show icon and a spoiled heiress.
Oprah Winfrey
Winfrey is one of the most recognizable women on the planet. Unfortunately, that also makes her a prime target for identity thieves. Years ago, a busboy was able to obtain social security numbers, birth dates, and even addresses of not only Oprah, but 200 of the occupants of Forbes magazine’s 400 Richest People in America list. The thief evidently obtained all the info from, ironically, credit protection and reporting company Equifax using a library computer, fake couriers, and cell phones. Among the other victims of this massive scam was, again, Steven Spielberg.

Paris Hilton
While it is uncertain just who in their right mind would want to assume Hilton’s identity, she is in fact the heiress to a hotel dynasty so her net worth just might overshadow her personality flaws for criminals. Oddly enough, the identity theft Hilton experienced in 2005 was not financially motivated. Apparently someone used her name to set up a fake website called Paris.org. How did Paris respond? Only by insisting that her name was a registered trademark and that this so-called identity thief should pay her for the privilege of using it. Evidently she forgot about that whole, you know, French city thing. In a separate incident, Paris’ phone was later hacked by a Minnesota teenager and her contact info posted online. It is possible that her notoriety makes her a target.
Ricky Gervais
Though identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in America, it affects people, and celebrities, all over the world. Take Gervais for example. The British comedian was the victim of a rather bizarre scam back in 2009. Thieves transferred over 200,000 pounds from his bank account in an attempt to purchase gold bullion. Though they were crafty enough to use an insider at the bank to get Gervais’ information, the scammers tried to use a fake passport, replete with a cutout photo of Gervais from the DVD box of The Office, to pick up the gold. We have to believe that even Gervais found that last part funny.
Liv Tyler
If you can’t trust your hairstylist, what is the world coming to? This was the cold hard fact facing The Lord of the Rings’ Tyler in 2011. It seems her Beverly Hills coiffeur used her credit card number to illegally obtain thousands of dollars worth of merchandise and services. However, the deceitful stylist’s greed was not limited to just Tyler’s assets. Among the seventeen clients she fleeced in a five-year period were Tyler, Anne Hathaway, Penelope Cruz, and Melanie Griffith. This is why Bill Gates cuts his own hair.

Something tells us Kim Kardashian is listening to Kanye West's "Stronger" on repeat right now.
On Friday, the reality TV star posted an entry on her blog with the title, "Rest in Peace, Little Mercy" — revealing that her four-month-old Persian kitten was put down after being diagnosed with a life-threatening virus. "My heart is completely broken," she reveals.
The pet was a gift from boyfriend West, but after Kardashian discovered she was allergic to cats, she decided to gift Mercy to Khloe's assistant, Sydney, whose own cat had recently passed away.
The adorable white cat had quickly become a family favorite, popping up on Kardashian's Twitter and Instagram accounts — and posing with everyone from Mason to Kendall Jenner. "Mercy was a gently and loving kitten and we are all going to miss her so much."
In the hopes of cheering up the heartbroken star, we compiled a couple of adorable cat videos guaranteed to make anyone smile. RIP, Mercy.

It has been more than 12 years since Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell debuted the epic "Cowbell" sketch on Saturday Night Live, but over a decade later, fans are still recalling the infamous TV moment. In fact, Walken still has to deal with fans ringing cowbells when they know he's about to take the stage. You would have known that if you watched Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Tuesday night. But maybe late night TV programs like Late Night and Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! come on after your bedtime. We get it. It's late, and you are tired. If that's the case, and you missed Walken's walk down memory lane, don't worry. We've got you covered.
Here's what you missed last night on late night TV:
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Christopher Walken shared some memories of working in the NBC building when he was younger. He also chatted with Fallon about his days hosting Saturday Night Live, specifically that well-remembered "Cowbell" sketch. "When we did it with the great Will Ferrell, and he was hilarious, there was no way to know that it would catch on like that," Walken said. "It haunts me. It follows me around. I did a play a couple years ago in New York, and people would bring cowbells and bang them at the curtain call. It's the most famous thing I ever did." Fallon also reminded his audience that Walken's new movie Seven Psychopaths comes out this weekend.

Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!
Megan Mullally talked about traveling with her husband to vast, exotic locations... like Cleveland, Ohio. "We did stay at the glamorous Hilton in a suburb of Cleveland," she said. "There was a lot of action at the Hilton." Mullally also revealed a very shocking secret: "I have a mole that can predict the weather. I've never told anyone, and I just felt like this is the time." The mole is actually on Mullally's "left butt cheek." Maybe she should schedule a visit with Nip / Tuck's Dr. Christian Troy. He could probably take care of that and offer Mullally some extra patient incentives, if you know what I mean.

Late Show with David Letterman
Big boy funny boy Kevin James told Letterman how he gained weight since filming Here Comes the Boom. "We shot the movie about a year and a half ago," he said. "A couple of things happened in between then and now. You know that they sell peanut butter and jelly in the same jar? I did not know. It's a life changer. Also, Wendy's came out with the Baconator. Six slices of bacon, one burger. The train went off the track." We feel for ya, James. Who can resist six slices of bacon? Not me.
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Tyler Perry got to go on a great, long vacation this summer (must be nice) and is also working on getting his pilot license. On his 41st birthday this past Setember, Perry performed his first solo flight, and told Leno that he is a safe pilot. Do you believe him? Perry also went on a workout regime for a cover article interview with Men's Health magazine, and for his new movie, Alex Cross. "I lost 30 for the movie, and 30 for that [the interview]," he admitted. "I was doing this Krav Maga [How I Met Your Mother style]. I was working out and running every day." Letterman, on the other hand, is on the "pizza and doughnuts" plan. "I alternate with crullers," he laughed.

A representative for Paris Hilton has spoken out to clarify remarks made by the socialite and reality TV star after she was secretly taped discussing AIDS.
Hilton was recorded during a cab journey in New York earlier this month (Sep12) talking with a pal about homosexuals, HIV, and gay social networking website Grindr.
During the conversation, Hilton is alleged to have said, "Gay guys are the horniest people in the word... Most of them probably have AIDS... I would be so scared if I was a gay guy... you'll, like, die of AIDS."
But a rep for the hotel heiress has moved quickly to clarify her comments, insisting the remarks formed only a small part of the conversation and that Hilton had not intended to cause offence.
In a statement, the agent says, "Paris Hilton's comments were to express that it is dangerous for anyone to have unprotected sex that could lead to a life-threatening disease.
"The conversation became heated after a close gay friend told her, in a cab ride, a story about a gay man who has AIDS and is knowingly having unprotected sex. He also discussed a website that encourages random sex by gay men with strangers.
"As she was being shown the website her comments were in reference to those people promoting themselves on the site. The cab driver who recorded this, only provided a portion of the conversation.
"It was not her intent to make any derogatory comments about all gays. Paris Hilton is a huge supporter of the gay community and would never purposefully make any negative statements about anyone's sexual orientation."

Here's a (hunka hunka) burnin' question. Now that, according to Variety, production company BiteSize Entertainment will adapt David E. Stanley and David Gruder's book about Elvis Presley called Conversations With the King: Journals of a Young Apprentice for the big screen, who should play the legendary, beloved rocker?
The film, titled Growing Up Graceland, will reportedly "be based on Stanley's 'spiritual journey' with Presley, his stepbrother" and "will also deal with Presley's spiritual search for meaning during the years before his death in 1977," meaning the movie will run the gamut from younger, pelvis-y Elvis, to the latter day, significantly less pelvis-y Elvis.
Of course, the huge task of playing The King has been attempted on film before (Tyler Hilton was impressive as a young Elvis in the Oscar-winning Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, as well as Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the TV movie Elvis, and of course, Bruce Campbell in Bubba Ho Tep) but there's never really been an "Elvis movie," let alone two...
In addition to Growing Up Graceland, there will be Elvis &amp; Nixon, Cary Elwes' directorial debut, which will feature Eric Bana as the "Jailhouse Rock" crooner for the upcoming film. So who else would be able to pull off playing one of the most iconic and beloved entertainment figures in history?
As far as the versatility goes (and willingness to throw on old man makeup and a fat suit) Leonardo DiCaprio would likely be game, as would James Franco (who knows a thing or two about playing a Hollywood icon when he memorably played James Dean). Presley superfan Nicolas Cage would jump at the chance to play Elvis again (after all, he literally jumped at the chance in Honeymoon in Vegas) while Tom Everett Scott has already proven he can play music and act. (See: That Thing You Do! No, really. Why aren't you watching it right now?)
Lest we all forget, Zac Efron, did a pretty good job of playing a coif-rocking, hip-thrusting teen '60s heartthrob, too, in Hairspray. And much like Scott and Efron, Darren Criss, could pull off the singing, dancing and acting triple threat. But who do you think could possibly step into Elvis' shoes? Take our poll below and tell us in the comments section.&amp;amp;lt;a href="http://polldaddy.com/poll/6497419/"&amp;amp;gt;Who (else) should play Elvis Presley?&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;
